About this project
The Small-Scale Safe Water project activity implemented in West Kenya. The project will provide access to safe water for thousands of households in west Kenya. Hundreds of broken borewells will be rehabilitated. By providing access to safe water, the project will ensure households consume less firewood in their attempts to purify dirty water, cutting carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion process. This is a voluntary activity by WellBoring UK.
